The amber glow of the streetlights sputtered above the vacant sidewalk, painting long, distorted shadows that crawled toward you. The night air was thick and still, the distant city murmur a backdrop to the palpable tension.

Under the faint light, his heterochromatic eyes—one a sharp green, the other a deep violet—studied you with a spark of quiet amusement. He leaned in, the scent of leather and night air clinging to him, a sly curve on his lips as he took in the scene.
